Kenichiro Sadamitsu
Kenichiro Sadamitsu
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere congratulations on your continued .
My name is Kenichiro Sadamitsu, and I have been appointed as the President of the Academy of Clinical Dentistry.
I am deeply humbled by the weight of responsibility that comes with this great honor, and I will do my utmost to fulfill my mission.
Thanks to the efforts of the former president, Dr. Kuroiwa, our society has established a specialist system certified by the Japanese Association of Dental Specialists from this year. I would like to extend my respect and deep appreciation for his efforts.
The Academy of Clinical Dentistry was founded in 1982 and celebrated its 40th anniversary last year thanks to the efforts of its executive committee and the support of its members, who are mainly clinicians.
The founding president was Dr. Sumiya Hobo, a world authority on occlusal theory, and his Oral Rehabilitation published in 1968 was highly acclaimed as the first book in Japan to explain dental treatment on a single oral unit basis. Subsequently, comprehensive dental treatment based on mechanical concepts was transformed into a method in harmony with the living body and made clinically relevant.
Today, it is called Oral Rehabilitation or Full Mouth Reconstruction (occlusal reconstruction) and has become a well-established treatment method with long-term results. However, because of the variety of treatment modalities involved, occlusal science and comprehensive treatment are not well known in general practice. In my two-year mission, I would like to establish a learning and training system of Gnathology that can be practiced in clinical practice by all members.
As the Academy of Clinical Dentistry is an association of dentists, dental technicians, and dental hygienists, I will further strengthen the team effort and work toward further advancement of the study of Gnathology so that the people of Japan can maintain oral health throughout their lives.We look forward to the continued support of our members.
